Nvidia open-sources OSMO orchestrator for robot AI training

Nvidia open-sourced OSMO, the Kubernetes-native workflow orchestrator it uses internally for Project GR00T, Isaac Lab, and Isaac Sim. OSMO lets robotics teams define training, simulation, and hardware-in-the-loop testing in a single YAML file and routes jobs across compute tiers, from GB200 clusters down to Jetson AGX Thor edge devices, under an Apache 2.0 license at version 6.3.1.

Why it matters: By open-sourcing the infrastructure tooling behind its own robotics foundation models, Nvidia lowers the barrier for smaller robotics labs to replicate GR00T-style training pipelines on Nvidia hardware -- a similar playbook to how CUDA and other open tooling helped cement Nvidia's platform lock-in in traditional AI.
